Jeremy rides his bike at a rate of 15 miles per hour. Below is a table that represents the number of hours and miles Kevin rides

. Assume both bikers ride at a constant rate. Which biker rides at a greater speed? Include all of your calculations in your final answer.
Time in hours (x) Distance in miles (y)
1.5 17.25
2 23
3.5 40.25
4 46

The correct answer would be, Jeremy rides at a greater speed than Kevin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremy rides at a rate of 15 miles per hour

Kevin rides at a rate given in the table

Let Y be the distance traveled by Jeremy

And X be the number of hours

Then for Jeremy:

y/x = 15/1

=> y= 15 x

For Kevin:

(46-23)/(4-2)

= 23/2

= 11.5

So for Kevin, Y = 11.5 x

So when Jeremy's and Kevin's rates are compared,

15 > 11.5

which means Jeremy rides at a greater speed.

Market-share-analysis company Net Applications monitors and reports on Internet browser usage. According to Net Applications, in

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a) There is a 2.43% probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

b) There is an 80.50% probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browsers users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

c) The expected number of Chrome users is 4.074.

d) The variance for the number of Chrome users is 3.2441.

The standard deviation for the number of Chrome users is 1.8011.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each Internet browser user, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they use Chrome, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Google Chrome has a 20.37% share of the browser market. This means that $p = 0.2037$

20 Internet users are sampled, so $n = 20$ .

a.Compute the probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

This is P(X = 8).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.2037)^{8}.(0.7963)^{12} = 0.0243$

There is a 2.43% probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

b.Compute the probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browsers users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

Either there are less than 3 Chrome users, or there are three or more. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 3) + P(X \geq 3) = 1$

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)$

In which

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2037)^{0}.(0.7963)^{20} = 0.0105$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2037)^{1}.(0.7963)^{19} = 0.0538$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2037)^{2}.(0.7963)^{18} = 0.1307$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0105 + 0.0538 + 0.1307 = 0.1950$

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.1950 = 0.8050$

There is an 80.50% probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browsers users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

c.For the sample of 20 Internet browser users, compute the expected number of Chrome users

We have that, for a binomial experiment:

$E(X) = np$

So

$E(X) = 20*0.2037 = 4.074$

The expected number of Chrome users is 4.074.

d.For the sample of 20 Internet browser users, compute the variance and standard deviation for the number of Chrome users.

We have that, for a binomial experiment, the variance is

$Var(X) = np(1-p)$

So

$Var(X) = 20*0.2037*(0.7963) = 3.2441$

The variance for the number of Chrome users is 3.2441.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So

$\sqrt{Var(X)} = \sqrt{3.2441} = 1.8011$

The standard deviation for the number of Chrome users is 1.8011.

Can some one please please help me? solve for x 5 /7x + 1/7 =63 enter your answer in the box below.

Soloha48 [4]

This is confusing but I think yo umean
$\frac{x+5}{7x} + \frac{1}{7} =63$
times both sides by 7x
x+5+x=441x
2x+5=441x
minus 5 both sides
2x=436
divide both sides by 2
x=218

carmen is an electrician she charges an initial fee of $32 plus $33 per hour if carmen earned $197 on a job how long did the job

nadezda [96]

197 = 32 + 33x

165=33x

x = 5

so she worked 5 hours
